Well a couple of weeks after having my head gasket fixed, engine management light comes on and the car starts juddering at low ish rpm's -.- had a google and it seems to be anything from coil packs, spark plug, oxygen sensors and camshaft sensor(?).
Bit miffed to say the least but everytime i tap the grey ecu box in the engine bay it stops so me and my dad think that it's a loose wire :/

My first and current car since 2009. A 1995 Saab 900SE 2.0 turbo. It's got cruise control, automatic climate control and a nicely upgraded audio system. Presently sitting at 184,000 miles.
At castle combe
Live mapped it myself using some special software crafted by some very clever folk on ecu-project. The results should be around 275hp but my car is an early model which has some inlet charge heating plates in-between the head and inlet manifold that severely restrict flow. Previous stage 3 map is plotted thinner. (standard is 185hp/194lb.ft)

i believe the 3l diesel v6 is the same one they use in the discovery and if it is you will not be disappointed.

dale the button handbrake is awesome. flick it on and auto off. its much better than the ones that are on normal cars. unless your dad likes to get sideways of course lol.
